lyrics

You feed the mouths that we’ve ripped from the ground
With wine dripping red off the words of your head
You call the names that we’ve failed to engage
With closed teeth on this earth, measure up our own worth
On a scale we cannot see

You fed the mouths that had bled out the town
That was painted pitch black with no wind on your back
You called the names that we watched slip away
Like a boy in the waves, swept away with the change
Where are we supposed to be?

We wait upon your white gates
With impatient smiles, won’t you let us in awhile?
It’s been too long since we’ve seen our mom
Is she doing alright? Let her know we’re outside

You call us home when there’s no where to go
You show us love when our hearts start to rust
You know our names while we curse every day
And we spit in your face

Can we wake up again and feel new?
Can we wake up alone, missing you?
Can we wake up enough to remember to trust,
That we’ll learn how to live as we move?
Maybe someday soon
